text/action route 29

S.O.S.

[Is that your Pokegear showing you have a message?]

this place is a mess.

we can't even get one city over.

[And another. And another.]

how are the roads clearing up?

is that don thing gone yet?

[Each one a single short phrase, as if hoping you'd pay attention and pick up if you get multiple alerts instead of one neat paragraph text, and minutes apart, as if all that time is needed to painstakingly check for spelling.]

i need to get to Goldenrod.

somebody fight me.

[There's only so much wandering and battling and begging for food she can take. She has a sense of direction of where she wants to go and what she needs to do, but with no way to get there, she's frustrated and bored and has no idea what the state of the world is like outside of Route 29 and New Bark Town. When's the world going to get put back together so she can have her Pokemon adventure?]

you might be able to get something from the breeding center
uh let me see if i can find their info



here
dunno if theyre open right now with everything so fubared but theyve got one hell of a selection and i think newbies get deals

[dashdash]

thers so many!!!! you mean i can just buy them? that feels like cheating but i guess you have to choose betwn pokemon and eating.

wheres this store? ill go there after goldenrod n olivine

[callbacks]

i actually have no idea
anyway i should note that what they sell are eggs so literally youre getting something at like
level 0
you gotta walk around with it for a while before it hatches and then youve got an infant on your hands so hopefully youre prepared for that kind of commitment

[dashdash]

ok scrap that idea, eggs will either get sqiushed or eaten around me unles i find some1 responsable to babysit for me

are u responsable? cause hey friend i need a favor while your hunting turtles

[callbacks]

what the fuck about me sounds responsible to you
i cant even be counted on to keep track of my capital letters and apostrophes let alone someone elses precious proto omelets

[dashdash]

ehh idk stuff like ansering questions and promising turtles and not ignoring me makes you sound like a good guy. real cool and responsible and everything

come on please

[callbacks]

[SHIT. HIS WEAKNESS. ...PLEASE TELL HIM HE'S COOL.]

well like
come on im not even anywhere near you!
how am i supposed to babysit or eggsit or anything when you might as well be on the fuckin moon

[dashdash]

[don't ever let her know]

its ok its easy! ill save up and buy one and you take care of it until i can get to olivine then you give it back!! the moons not that far! you can see the moon!

[callbacks]

what if it imprints on me??
it wont listen to you then
ill be the pony mama its me

[dashdash]

dont hatch it until i get there and after it prints then you can take care of it for a bit. full visiting rights and everything. youll be a good pony mama i beleive in you

[callbacks]

[...

im only considering this because i like ponies
it looks like they arent selling any at the breeding center though so well have to wait until one of the player breeders says theyve got eggs for sale
or maybe once i buy a pony of my own jade or karkat can breed her

[dashdash]

yeah ponies are great! youre great! whatever plan works, it sounds like youve got it covered pony mama


how many days will it take

[callbacks]

will what take

[dashdash]

to pony me

[callbacks]

idk im not a breeder
how long will it take for you to get to olivine

[dashdash]

i mean. i plan to asap when the roads get clear and after busines in goldenrod. i cant tell from the map how far things are. so its probably like 2 days right?

[callbacks]

its three days from new bark to cherrygrove so im thinking probs not actually

[dashdash]

no way
ive been here so long already its been days and im still on r29!! the distance is too far! everythings too far apart!! how do you make friends and keep them when everyones so far apart you cant see eachother!??

[callbacks]

use the internet??
jesus what year are you from

[dashdash]

its too hard! no one tells me thier email or phone number so i can never talk like this with anyone! i want to see them! go places and do all sorts of stuff together! you cant google friendship!

[callbacks]

oh my god
ok you should be seeing a number somewhere on your gear while youre having this conversation with me
got it?
that number essentially serves as both my email and my digits so just save it under dave strider
boom no google necessary

[dashdash]

i see it! friendship is amazing!
and me too! save mine! you can save it under 'my bffffffff Mafuyu Kurosaki♥'!!!

[callbacks]

pfff hahaha sorry but that particular position is spoken for a few times over
but sure ill save your info
which ones your first name the mafuyu or the kurosaki part
or rather which part do you want me to use

[dashdash]

not enough fs? but thats ok, just friends is ok too!!!

Mafuyu's my first name but Kurosaki is also fine. whichevers more comfortable i guess is how people usually choose

what about you? is dave ok? strider? pony mama?

[callbacks]

ill answer to any of the above but american custom usually has people calling me dave
ill call you mafuyu its fewer letters to type and i got less chance of spelling it wrong
